Brauer’s Height Zero Conjecture for principal blocks
2021
Abstract We prove the other half of Brauer’s Height Zero Conjecture in the case of principal blocks.
Optimal Locations and Inner Products
1997
Abstract In a normed space X , we consider objective functions which depend on the distances between a variable point and the points of certain finite sets A . A point where such a function attains its minimum on X is generically called an optimal location. In this paper we obtain characterizations of inner product spaces with properties connecting optimal locations and the convex hull of A or barycenters of points of A with well chosen weights. We thus generalize several classical results about characterization of inner product spaces.
Testing for selectivity in the dependence of random variables on external factors
2008
Random variables AA and BB, whose joint distribution depends on factors (x,y)(x,y), are selectively influenced by xx and yy, respectively, if AA and BB can be represented as functions of, respectively, (x,SA,C)(x,SA,C) and (y,SB,C)(y,SB,C), where SA,SB,CSA,SB,C are stochastically independent and do not depend on (x,y)(x,y). Selective influence implies selective dependence of marginal distributions on the respective factors: thus no parameter of AA may depend on yy. But parameters characterizing stochastic interdependence of AA and BB, such as their mixed moments, are generally functions of both xx and yy. We derive two simple necessary conditions for selective dependence of (A,B)(A,B) on (x…

Differential equations over polynomially bounded o-minimal structures
2002
We investigate the asymptotic behavior at +∞ of non-oscillatory solutions to differential equations y' = G(t, y), t > a, where G: R 1+l → R l is definable in a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure. In particular, we show that the Pfaffian closure of a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure on the real field is levelled.

BOUNDING THE NUMBER OF IRREDUCIBLE CHARACTER DEGREES OF A FINITE GROUP IN TERMS OF THE LARGEST DEGREE
2013
We conjecture that the number of irreducible character degrees of a finite group is bounded in terms of the number of prime factors (counting multiplicities) of the largest character degree. We prove that this conjecture holds when the largest character degree is prime and when the character degree graph is disconnected.

On the structure of the set of equivalent norms on ℓ1 with the fixed point property
2012
Abstract Let A be the set of all equivalent norms on l 1 which satisfy the FPP. We prove that A contains rays. In fact, every renorming in l 1 which verifies condition (⁎) in Theorem 2.1 is the starting point of a (closed or open) ray composed by equivalent norms on l 1 with the FPP. The standard norm ‖ ⋅ ‖ 1 or P.K. Linʼs norm defined in Lin (2008) [12] are examples of such norms. Moreover, we study some topological properties of the set A with respect to some equivalent metrics defined on the set of all norms on l 1 equivalent to ‖ ⋅ ‖ 1 .
